Electrical System · reported Oct 20, 2026
Component that failed: The charging inlet locking actuator (Hyundai: "charging connector lock/unlock actuator") on my 2019 Hyundai IONIQ Plug-In Hybrid. It locks the connector to the inlet. The failed actuator is STILL INSTALLED and available for inspection at a dealership. Safety risk: Hyundai TSB #18-BE-018 requires technicians to disconnect the high-voltage safety plug, wait 5 minutes for capacitor discharge, and wear insulated gloves because the area contains "high voltage components." A locked actuator forces owners to pry at an energized connectorâshock hazard. A partially engaged…

I was away from home and had to tow it 120 miles back to the local dealer. The engine clutch actuator failed and ruined my transmission and left me stranded in the…
Fuel/Propulsion System · reported Mar 18, 2024
Many times, when I back out of my driveway into the intersection in front of my house the vehicle hesitates for several seconds when shifted from Reverse to Drive. I am in a situation where I cannot accelerate if needed out of the intersection. This is a safety issue in my opinion. The dealer was not able to replicate the problem, even though it happens frequently and has not provided a solution. One time, on a long road trip, while climbing a grade the vehicle could not achieve normal highway speeds (could only get to 20-30 mph). Big rigs were right behind the vehicle and were not happy…
Seat Belts · reported Feb 19, 2023
